Norman Thomas (1884-1968), an ordained minister and pacifist, was one of the founders, with Scott Nearing, A.J. Muste, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. A few years later, in 1917, he helped found the National Civil Liberties Bureau, later to be named the American Civil Liberties Union. After Eugene Debs died, Thomas became the Socialist Party's presidential candidate in 1928, 1932, and 1936. He wrote several books and was a frequent contributor to The Unemployed.
